Hemogram-Derived Ratios in the Prognosis of Acute Diverticulitis.

: It is crucial to quickly identify those patients who need immediate treatment in order to avoid the various complications related to acute diverticulitis (AD). Although several studies evaluated the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) suggesting its predictive value in assessing the severity of AD, results have been inconclusive. Therefore, we aimed to assess the relationship between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and systemic immune inflammation (SII) with the severity of AD, the ability to predict the presence or absence of complications, and the recurrence rate, based on the values of inflammatory markers.

Predictive and Prognostic Role of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio in Rectal Cancer: A Case Control Study with Propensity Score Analysis.

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is promoted as a marker reflecting the antitumoral inflammatory response. Herein, we aim to assess whether NLR at the time of diagnosis can predict response to neoadjuvant therapy and long-term survival in a matched cohort of rectal cancer patients. This is a case control study on rectal cancer patients who underwent standard oncological treatment and had NLR sampled at each stage.

Diet and Gut Inflammation: The Effect of Diet on Inflammatory Markers in Inflammatory Bowel Disease - A Scoping Review.

Background And Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. Studies evaluated the effect of several diets on inflammatory markers in IBD patients. Nevertheless, the results have been inconsistent.
